The CPD might have gotten told by the Chicago Machine to choke off the Harris/anti-lynching angle in the Smollett case. "He wanted to increase his salary" just doesn't ring true as a motive. Not when
Also I'm pissed that CPD never mentioned that Smollett was perfectly willing to let two white, straight MAGA supporters go to jail if necessary. Isn't that a "hate crime" against us?
